Dear Pod,

Apparently, Erin was not an UNINVITED GUEST as she recently made her late-night, stand-up debut, on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. 
How'd it go? Did she choke? 
Let MOTH take you through a non-stressful reenactment of it all.
Then, we'll read articles and drink!

Oh my God, that guy isn't wearing any pants! Just try not to look at him in the eyes as you listen to the "Mini-Sode". NO! DON'T LOOK DOWN! Crap. Now we have to talk to him.

Do you have PETS? Well, Erin and Patty will see try to keep on topic this week but there are no promises. Now get a treat for yourself and your four-legged friend and let's see what going on at the Ranch. By the way, are you housebroken?

Look everyone! It's the Mini-Sode! Let us celebrate by making praise hands. What a wonderful way to welcome a new episode of laughs and wonder. DAMMIT! That guy next to me "Praise Hands" just poked me in the eye. Dammit!

Come on, Susan. Put on your hiking boots because we are about to TRAVEL out to the Pineapple Ranch to see what possible nonsense is happening at the Maha'a Tiki Bar today. Ten bucks says that Jules is already drunk!

Congratulations! You just tuned into the Truly Extraordinary, Absolutely Terrific, I Can't Even Sit Down No More Cause I'm So Excited My Pants Are Wet MINI-SODE!

Would somebody please nudge Jules. He fell asleep again at the editing board and the neighbors are complaining that they can hear his SNORING from across the street. We don't care that he's asleep but why is he editing in his underwear?

Eddie Vedder. Gwen Stefani. New Underwear. Nothing is safe this week. Welcome to the "Mini-Sode"!

From Pong to Fortnite. From Space Invaders to...uummmm....Fortnite. That's right. We're talking about VIDEO GAMES. Get your quarters ready and let's waste a night over at the Maha'a Arcade! Just to make sure, your Dad's gonna pick us up later and drive me home? Cool.

Check your breath. Make sure your braces are clean. Don't be all handsy. We're giving you our first kiss on this week's "mini-sode". 
Hang on. It's gonna be awkward.
